855 (9044). RHYNCOLUS BRUNNEUS Mann., 1843, 295. 



Subcylindrical. Dark reddish-brown or piceous, feebly shining. Beak 

 slightly narrower and scarcely longer than head, rather densely punctured. 

 Thorax longer than wide, sides broadly rounded, feebly constricted near 

 apex; disc convex, rather coarsely, deeply, not densely punctured. Elytra 

 convex, slightly wider than thorax, sides parallel to apical fifth, then nar- 

 rowed to apex; lateral striae more feeble than those near suture, all rather 

 coarsely and closely punctured; intervals each with a row of minute 

 punctures, finely transversely wrinkled. Beneath coarsely punctured, 

 first ventral at middle very densely so. Length 3 3.5 mm. 



Ithaca, N. Y., April 15. Tyngsboro, Mass., April 21 July 2. 

 New Jersey, under bark of wild cherry, Pnmus serotina Ehrh. A 

 species of northern range occurring from New England and Can- 

 ada to Wisconsin, Vancouver, California and New Mexico. 



856 ( ). RHYNCOLUS CARINATUS sp. nov. 



Subcylindrical. Uniform dark chestnut brown, club and tarsi paler. 

 Beak as long as head, slightly narrowed toward tip, both it and head finely 

 and sparsely punctate. Thorax convex, as long as wide, sides feebly cur- 

 ved, disc finely and densely punctate. Elytra one-fourth wider at base 

 than thorax, sides straight and parallel to apical fourth, then broadly 

 rounded to tips; striae with rows of small, close-set punctures; intervals 

 raised along the outer side of these punctures into a very narrow ridge or 

 carina; a row of minute punctures on the innner side between each row of 

 strial punctures and the next inner carina. Under surface finely and 

 sparsely punctate. Third joint of tarsi not dilated. Length 2.3 2.5 mm. 

 (W. S. B.) 



Kosciusko County, Ind., June 20 22; sifted from sphagnum 

 moss in a tamarack marsh. Very distinct by the peculiar sculp- 

 ture of elytra. The narrow tarsi indicate a distinct genus, but 

 aside from these its characters agree with those of Rliyncolus. 



VII. STENOSCELIS Woll., 1861. (Gr., "narrow" -f "tibiae.") 



Subcylindrical robust species having the beak very short, half 

 the length of and somewhat narrower than head ; antennal grooves 

 limited to a short broad cavity just in front of eyes; scape short, 

 slender, feebly clavate, scarcely half the length of funicle; club 

 rounded, slightly flattened, obscurely annulated. 



857 (9048). STENOSCELIS BREVIS Boh., Schon., 1845, 282. 



Robust, Subcylindrical. Black, feebly shining; elytra and legs brown- 

 ish or piceous, antennae and tarsi paler. Beak and head rather coarsely 

 and very densely punctured. Thorax short, nearly one-half wider than 

 long, broadly constricted in front, sides feebly curved, base slightly narrow- 

 er, the hind angles rounded; disc convex, coarsely and densely punctured. 

 Elytra cylindrical, finely granulate at base over a short, broad area each
